Cisco is bringing its networking expertise to the ITS industry, and you can see a live demo of the company’s ITS portfolio at booth 2345. Cisco’s ITS mission is “Connect, Secure and Deliver” because the Cisco stack combines networking for V2X connectivity; Cisco Cyber Vision to secure the network; and Cisco Edge Intelligence to deliver edge compute at the intersection.
Edge computing means that a transportation agency’s safety applications are running within the roadside cabinet, processing data and sending automated safety alerts locally – rather than in the TMC or the cloud. In this way, Cisco dramatically cuts latency for traffic event detection, improves road user safety and provides a foundation for connected and automated vehicles.
“When you can’t process data locally, sending an alert to a TMC increases delay by 10X,” said Mark Kellinger, transportation solutions architect at Cisco Systems. “Even milliseconds count in safety applications.”
